First PT in 2 years

Post by tezzeret » Tue Sep 09, 2014 10:31 am

I am on my 15-minute break for my first PT since 2012 (started restudying again in July), and for the first three sections I got creamed with timing. The questions weren't particularly difficult but the my timing was way off. 1st section was LR and timing was close but I made it to the end. 2nd section was RC and I hit the 5 minute warning as I reached my 3rd passage, and finally for LG I hit the 5 minute mark on the last question of the 3rd game. Not exactly what I wanted to see with the test a few weeks. Do you guys think timing issues this far in mean December or do I still have a shot at rectifying this problem between now and the end of the month?

Ok well just concluded the test (PT29). I scored a 156, which was higher than any PT I took 2 years ago, and 7 points higher than my actual LSAT score. I guess it's not a terrible starting point when I look at it like that, but conversely it's much lower than where I want to be (at least 9-10 points higher). Went -4 on both LR Sections, -7 on LG, and -19 on RC. All 7 questions missed on LG were due to timing (last question of G3 and entire G4), and for RC was just a bomb (tried going fast, but sacrificed accuracy for speed and evidently failed as I neither finished on time nor got many correct).
